Tuality Healthcare is the first hospital in the Portland metropolitan area with a diagnostic imaging staff certified to perform MRI scans for patients with the new Medtronic Revo MRI® SureScan® pacing system. Patients with traditional pacemakers cannot undergo MRI scans because of potential heart tissue damage or interference with the pacing circuitry. This revolutionary pacing technology has been designed as safe for MRI scans.
